Ok, so lets look at this from a long time Netflix subscriber... 1. First you raise the rates. Still a great price for both BR\DVD and Streaming. But remember, Cable used to cost just $8.99 for basic cable too. See the trend here... 2. Now your going to split the BR\DVD and Streaming. So...

Just to add something comical to the discussion, here in Souther Nevada, the Energy company raised our rates because of all the energy efficient homes we have. It's an old article but you can start reading about it...

Reading the above posts, really has me thinking how many of the above systems have VIRUS', Malware, or are part of some kind of BOT network. Let me tell you few people who think Ad blocking is wrong, just why need to rethink this. It was just what 5 months ago that the [H] Forum was blocked...

I really hate when people compare a country that is smaller than many of our States. Im sure if the US was only as big as just Sweden or Japan, would would have better infrastructure as well. Other than that, I agree with what you said.;)

30 years ago, Cable cost $19.99 a month for all the channels they had, and you could pay $10 more for all the premium channels (HBO, SHO, Skinamax, etc). At the time, Cable had a better picture and sound then you could get with the Free Over the Air (OTA) channels, plus they had more channels...

I finally cut the cable (or Satellite in my case) 2 months ago, and haven't looked back. Here are some hopefully helpful tips for those on the fence about this. 1. Realize that if you have Cable TV, or at least a Cable Internet connection from say Cox, Charter,etc, that you can still get...

I'll ignore all the people who think that Piracy is illegal, immoral, etc. As the real reason most people Pirate is as varied as the posts in the [H]ard Forum. You can't lump them all together without making yourself look ignorant. There are however, several points to be made regarding...

96redformula, Did you upgrade the memory to 2gigs? I also noticed the Newegg version of the T101MT is using a 160gig HDD. Do you know if it's 5400RPM or 7200RPM. Just wondering if 2gigs of Ram, and a 320gig (or larger) 7200RPM HDD (or an SSD) would make a difference with the performance...

I have a few questions for you 98redformula? 1. How are flash games performance on the T101MT? Specifically, my wife likes to play Fishville and Farmville in Facebook, and I would like to know if the game is playable, or a slideshow. 2. Have you used Media Center on the system, if so, have...

This could be a good tablet, if you do a few upgrades to it. 1. Upgrade to 2Gigs of Ram. 2. Upgrade to Windows 7 Premium. 3. Upgrade the HDD to an SSD. And for a speed bump, you can overclock the CPU using the ASUS performance software from within Windows 7 (think it overclocks it to...

Thanks for this, bought my 5th drive now (gotta love movie servers).

Hmmm, so this is different then all the "Pre"views that have been around for over a year. If this does have an upgradeable battery (so I could get a 6 or 9 cell for 10+ hours of actual usage), and it can play DVD movies without issues (not sure about Intel 3150 graphics), this could be a good...

Just found this on Amazon, and thought you all might be interested in it (for Eyefinity of course :D)... http://www.amazon.com/Tyke-Supply-Super-Triple-Monitor/dp/B0037BUA0Y/ref=pd_sbs_op_23 Holds up to 26" LCD's, at only ~$122, which is an awesome price if you look around at other Triple...

Thanks for the reply TypeRazor, I tested this with the default DVD library in Media Center, and pressing Stop on the IR Remote actually stopped the movie. However the other side effect is that just as in My Movies, if you Play the same DVD again, it starts from where you left off, versus...

Ok, I've searched and searched, and haven't see this problem listed anywhere, so here goes... While playing a DVD in Windows 7 Media Center (in version 7100, 7203, and 7260) that has been copies to the hard drive (in Video_TS format with AnyDVDHD-v6.5.5 running in the background), and...

Whoa, hold on a sec. Are you saying, you have a Dish PVR upstairs, and you are connecting it down in your basement via USB cables to an HDPRV (http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html), and you are able to watch your Dish programs through SageTV on your HTPC? I have the opposite...

Please note, I never said playing movies would stutter, I said that there is a delay when they first start, sometimes as much as 30 seconds. I have been working on my Server today, and believe this might be caused by Power Saving mode on the HDD (which is weird, as I set the Server to High...

Sorry for the delay in replying everyone, I've been out of town for the past 5 days, but I do appreciate the info you have all given me. So to answer a few questions: 1. The server is running on an Abit AN8-SLI board running a 2GHz Dualcore AMD low power 'Barton' CPU with 2Gigs of Memory...

I have a question for the hardware RAID Guru's out there. Currently I have a system setup as a Server (Vista x64), with two Seagate 1TB drives, and two 500GB drives. I use the Server for storing all my DVD's using Vista Media Center with MyMovies. I have 3 PC's throughout the house that connect...

You should be more specific with your question, and reason why (in this case Peerguardian). 1st. This really only affects x64 versions of Vista and Windows7, the 32bit versions can turn off driversigning easily. 2nd. There is a post in the Peerguardian Forums, that points to a program...

^^^^^ Bah, he beat me to it...8) I've got your fix (as I've had similar issues). 1. If you don't have a Floppy Drive, make sure your Motherboard BIOS doesn't have one listed. 2. For some reason, both Vista and Win7 need your main Hard Drive to be connected to SATA 0. If you have the...

Couple more things I've found... Check this out... Oh, you also might want to turn off your AV just for the file transfer, to see if that has any affect. I've had issues with Avast and McAfee causing file transfers over the network to slow down when either of these programs were turned...

Couple of things that should help you out... 1. Make sure you have IPv6 turned off in Vista, this tends to cause all kinds of issues within Networks, and just plain old surfing. 2. Check and double check your Network cables, a lot of issues could be caused by poor cables. When in doubt...

I have never spilled any drinks on my keyboards, let alone on one of my LCD's (which the Motherboard would be about the same height). Now I do have a 2.5year old boy, which makes me nervous.:eek: However, I have some Plexi for a sort of blast shield (its very thin, and will just cover the...

As promised, a minor update. Here are some more shots of the Motherboard cutouts. Those aren't scratches you see, but just left over junk that holds the paper to the Plexi (just didn't clean it up yet). With the rest of the case coming along nicely, it was time to finish the back...

Time for another update, this one with some big, juicy, picts.:D In the image below, you can see some of the extras I've added to the case. After messing with my last case, where filling was easy thanks to a AquaTub, but I didn't have an easy way to drain the system. I figured it was time to...

Expensive parts? These...? Nah, wait till you see the next few picts.:D To continue on, let me give you some more background on whats going into the build. My current PC is a AMD 3800+ dual core, which I bought when it first came out, with 3 gigs of DDR memory, a couple of Raptor drives, and...

The cookie is in the mail.;) First today, let me list some of the parts I've gotten for this project. All the plexiglass is from eStreetPlastics (http://www.estreetplastics.com/). I used 1/4 for the top and bottom pieces and 1/8 for the front, back and sides. I also got a couple of 3 foot...

Hello everyone, finally got off my ass, and made myself a case.;) That's right, I didn't Mod a case, I actually built one.:D So before I get started showing you the good stuff, let me start by crediting everyone on this and other modding forums, who decided to make their systems different...

I thought about mounting them, but the hastle of taking apart each couch section, and mounting them, would be too much of a pain. Plus they work great just stuck between the cushions. I have about 220 movies ripped to the hard drives. This is in addition to the 350+ movies that I have in the...

Wow, sorry for the late response, haven't been looking in here for awhile. To answer your question, yes I put the computer together myself (been a tech for nearly 20 years now). Nothing too crazy, just parts that I read about that would do what a HT should do. Now if I could just use Vista...

If you are running Vista, you need to set 'Turn off Monitor' to 'Never'. You can find this in the Control panel, under you power options\properties\advanced.

Which Pronto do you have? This one does quite a bit more than the older versions, including WiFi support. There is a project going on in the Remote Central forums that allows the Pronto to play your music in Media Center, without having to use the TV. Everything is displayed on the Pronto...

Angry? Not sure where you're reading into my post that you think I'm angry.

I guess the same could be said about Yours or My posts as well W1retap. But for Sound and Video information, I tend to read the AVSForum and listed to Audio and Video people who know their stuff, more so than what is posted at the [H]ard. Just like I wouldn't be reading about Overclocking, or...
